Roll To Save

Author Notes

Actual D&D??
One of the reasons the main characters hang out with each other (as per the title of the comic) is of coarse, every Saturday they get together and play Dungeons and Dragons. I noticed that D&D itself was hardly mentioned at all, which is a little odd for a comic actually named "Roll To Save". So I've decided while we tackle other stories, we'll periodically be treated to small arcs that show the characters playing some good old fashion tabletop.

When I originally wrote the script for this arc, I wanted to include a small window at the bottom of each panel, displaying the various rolls each player does, sort of like in Baldur's Gate. After a while, I figured it might be too much so I opted to have it play out like a regular strip but with players dressed and looking like their respective characters.

Oh look! Four handsome, roguish and playful looking half-orc quadruplets. I wonder where we might have heard of them before...
For those of you who are avid readers of Tailsteak's Leftover Soup, you may recall a D&D game involving Ellen, Max, Gina, Nicole and DMed by Lily in where they bump into said quadruplets. (LS# 930) I thought it would be a neat reference. However, just because John requests some faithful NPC companions, doesn't mean it won't come at a price...
